It’s one of the standout days on the racing calendar with Super Saturday at Flemington and Randwick Guineas Day in Sydney delivering a stack of quality racing across both states.
Flemington hosts a massive program featuring several Group races and some of the best sprinters and milers in the country stepping out. Meanwhile at Randwick, the spotlight falls on the three-year-olds in the Randwick Guineas, alongside a strong supporting card packed with depth and competitive fields.
We’ll be covering Races 6–9 at both meetings, highlighting the runners we think are the best to back as well as a few value plays worth considering. With plenty of talent on display and some wide-open contests, it shapes as a terrific day of racing for punters and fans alike.
🏇 Flemington R6 – 1400m Darley Sires’ Produce Stakes
📝 Race Overview:
A strong edition of the Sires’ where the step up to 1400m becomes the key factor. Many runners come through sprint form and now face the test of stretching out in distance, so those with the right racing pattern and ability to relax early should have the advantage late.
🔥 Best Bet: ZAMBALES
💰 Odds: ~$1.85
⚡ Looks the standout on form. His run in the Blue Diamond was very strong against top opposition, and the rise to 1400m looks ideal. He’s already shown he can sustain a strong finish and now gets Mark Zahra in the saddle, which only adds confidence. If he handles the extra trip as expected, he’ll take beating.
💎 Best Value: DIAMETER
💰 Odds: ~$18
💥 A runner who could easily outrun his price. He’s shown glimpses of talent and the move to 1400m should suit his racing style much better. If the favourites engage in a genuine tempo early, he’s capable of running into the race late and grabbing a placing at big odds.
🏇 Flemington R7 – 1600m The All-Star Mile
📝 Race Overview:
One of the headline races of the day. The mile at Flemington often favours runners that can control the tempo or secure a soft run just behind the leaders. With several classy runners engaged, race shape will play a big role in the result.
🔥 Best Bet: PRIDE OF JENNI
💰 Odds: ~$4.40
⚡ She looks ideally placed first-up. Pride Of Jenni is at her best when allowed to roll along in front, and this race shapes as one where she could get a comfortable lead. If she produces the same fresh ratings she delivered in her previous two preparations, she’ll give them something serious to chase.
💎 Best Value: TOM KITTEN
💰 Odds: ~$6
💥 The defending winner of this race and brings a similar setup into this year’s edition. His performances suggest he’s returned in great order and he’s a proven mile performer at Flemington. If the tempo is genuine and he gets clear air at the right time, he’s more than capable of repeating last year’s performance.
🏇 Flemington R8 – 1600m De Bortoli Wines Matron Stakes
📝 Race Overview:
A competitive mares’ mile where several runners arrive with strong recent form. Positioning around the Flemington bend can be crucial here, so those able to settle within striking distance before the straight should have the best chance to finish off.
🔥 Best Bet: SEA WHAT I SEE
💰 Odds: ~$5
⚡ A very consistent performer who looks well placed in this company. She’s been racing in solid form lines and tends to finish off strongly when given the right run. If she settles within range turning for home, she has the turn of foot to make her presence felt late.
💎 Best Value: BENAGIL
💰 Odds: ~$8.50
💥 A mare with the ability to run a big race at odds. She’s shown she can sustain a strong finish over the mile, and if the pace is genuine she’ll be one of the runners charging late. At the current price, she looks a worthwhile each-way play.
🏇 Flemington R9 – 1200m Yulong Newmarket Handicap
📝 Race Overview:
The famous Newmarket Handicap, one of Australia’s premier straight-track sprints. Speed, timing, and the ability to handle the Flemington straight are all critical. With a large field charging down the straight, luck in running can also play its part.
🔥 Best Bet: TENTYRIS
💰 Odds: ~$2.35
⚡ He was excellent winning first-up and looks set to improve again here. Importantly, he’s unbeaten second-up, which adds plenty of confidence. If he produces another step forward from that first-up performance, he’ll be very hard to hold out in the finish.
💎 Best Value: WODETON
💰 Odds: ~$17
💥 Gets in extremely well at the weights with just 50kg, which is always a huge advantage in a race like the Newmarket. He’s also suited to racing down the Flemington straight, and if he can settle into the right group and build momentum late, he could surprise at a big price.
🏇 Randwick R6 – 1600m Aspiration Quality
📝 Race Overview:
A quality mares’ mile where several runners resume or step up in distance. Randwick’s mile can favour horses that build through their gears, particularly if the tempo is genuine early.
🔥 Best Bet: PINITO
💰 Odds: ~$4
⚡ Her first-up run was good, particularly the final 200m which rated among the best of the meeting. The step up to 1600m looks perfect, and she draws nicely to secure a comfortable run in transit. If she reproduces that finishing burst over the extra trip, she’ll be right in the finish.
💎 Best Value: QUIETNESS
💰 Odds: ~$9.50
💥 A horse who often performs well fresh and looks to get a very soft run from the draw. If the race unfolds in her favour and she’s able to settle close enough without working early, she can definitely give this field a shake.
🏇 Randwick R7 – 1000m Challenge Stakes
📝 Race Overview:
A sharp 1000m sprint where tactical speed will be crucial. With several runners resuming, recent trials and form lines become important indicators.
🔥 Best Bet: RAGING FORCE
💰 Odds: ~$4
⚡ Has impressed in recent trials and brings strong form through races involving Tentyris, which is excellent reference form. If he brings that level of performance to race day, he looks very competitive in this sprint.
💎 Best Value: GENEROSITY
💰 Odds: ~$9.50
💥 The 1000m first-up looks ideal for him. He was extremely unlucky over this track and trip first-up last preparation, and if he gets a clearer run this time around, he’s capable of producing a big performance at a nice price.
🏇 Randwick R8 – 1600m Randwick Guineas
📝 Race Overview:
A major three-year-old mile and one of the key autumn features for this age group. With several talented runners stepping up to the mile, the race should be run at a solid tempo and test both class and stamina.
🔥 Best Bet: AUTUMN BOY
💰 Odds: ~$3
⚡ His first-up run was very good, especially considering the race shape didn’t suit him. The move out to 1600m is exactly what he’s looking for, and with natural improvement second-up he profiles as a major winning chance.
💎 Best Value: ATTICA
💰 Odds: ~$9.50
💥 A runner who could easily give the favourites a scare. He’s shown enough ability to suggest he belongs at this level, and if he finds the right run in transit he’s capable of finishing strongly at odds.
🏇 Randwick R9 – 1300m Canterbury Stakes
📝 Race Overview:
A high-class sprint where several established performers clash. The 1300m at Randwick often rewards runners who can settle just behind the speed before producing a sharp sprint in the straight.
🔥 Best Bet: LADY SHENANDOAH
💰 Odds: ~$4.80
⚡ She returned with a very strong first-up run, and the extra 100m here looks ideal. If she builds on that performance second-up, she’ll be right in the finish again.
💎 Best Value: LINEBACKER
💰 Odds: ~$9.50
💥 His recent trials have been very impressive, and he has a perfect record over 1300m. With a map that should allow him to settle comfortably before launching late, he’s capable of running a big race at the price.
